It’s been about three months since the last CloudCasa feature release in April, and we are now approaching the Dog Days of summer. These, as you may know, are named for the heliacal rising of Sirius, the Dog Star, in this sultry season, though the term more often conjures images of dogs lazing in the hot summer sun.

In this blog you will learn the different use cases for Velero and the two ways to install Velero, using the Velero CLI and using a Helm chart.
